This tiny vineyard (1.68 acres) is planted to a single clone and can only be described as a labor of love.  MacPhail Wines has a ten-year history with the vineyard, and is the only winery sourcing fruit here.  The Martini clone of Pinot Noir produces distinctive fruit with earthy, herbal notes often described as robust, and just as often as a favorite of Anderson Valley.

The Toulouse Vineyard is located in the heart of Anderson Valley along Highway 128, just 12 miles from the Pacific Ocean and two hours north of the Golden Gate Bridge.  The climate and weather patterns in this region are ideal for Pinot Noir, creating the perfect sugar/acid balance in the grapes.  This vineyard is an important touchstone for MacPhail Wines, as it's one of the first vineyards we sourced from, beginning with the 2002 vintage.

This is classic Green Valley, fragrant and begging for attention. The small, 8.6 acre vineyard is just northwest of Sundawg Ridge, sloping gently east to west with well drained Goldridge sandy loam soil, benefitting from the spring-fed lake that inspired the vineyard name.
